“At Genmab our core purpose is to improve the lives of patients by creating differentiated antibody medicines. Despite the unprecedented challenges created by the global coronavirus pandemic, the motivation provided by this core purpose, along with our passion for innovation and determination to be the best at what we do have driven our company to transformational success during the first half of 2020. From our broad collaboration with AbbVie to the impressive results from the tisotumab vedotin innovaTV 204 study, the second quarter of 2020 has further strengthened Genmab’s position as a world-class innovation powerhouse,” said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Genmab.

Financial Performance First Half of 2020

  • Revenue was DKK 6,343 million in the first half of 2020 compared to DKK 1,365 million in the first half of 2019. The increase of DKK 4,978 million, or 365%, was primarily driven by the upfront payment from AbbVie and higher DARZALEX royalties.
  • Net sales of DARZALEX by Janssen were USD 1,838 million in the first half of 2020 compared to USD 1,403 million in the first half of 2019, an increase of USD 435 million, or 31%.
  • Operating expenses were DKK 1,775 million in the first half of 2020 compared to DKK 1,254 million in the first half of 2019. The increase of DKK 521 million, or 42%, was driven by the advancement of epcoritamab (DuoBody®-CD3xCD20) and DuoBody-PD-L1x4-1BB, additional investments in our product pipeline, and the increase in new employees to support the expansion of our product pipeline.
  • Operating income was DKK 4,568 million in the first half of 2020 compared to DKK 111 million in the first half of 2019. The increase of DKK 4,457 million was driven by higher revenue, which was partly offset by increased operating expenses.
